graduated the men of that town on the
spirit they had shown. He was GLAD to
hear at an interview he had just had
with Canon Ronayne that Mr. DAILY was
! willing to come to terms with his Irish
town tenants. (Cheers.) The plan OF
campaign was increasing in every dis
trict in Mayo, and he could not see why
Mr.. DAILY should be so foolish as not to
do what every sensible landlord was do
ing nowadays, and that was to meet his
tenants fairly. Cheers - Freeman,

MONAGHAN.
The Freeman correspondent, writing
from Carrickmacross, March rs, says:
To-day Mr.. Sewallis E.. Sirley's crowbar
brigade resumed active operations. The
movements of the corps attracted con-
siderable attention. as this was their
first temperance since they retreated
from their attack on Wards house.
The preparations Of the eviction party
were made in manner that fully dis
closed the Importance they attach to the
work of capturing the Ulster home
steads. Ne rly two hundred constabu-
larry, under the command Of County In
spector Carey, escorted the party while
Captain Hamilton, r. NJ, was drafted
in to oversee the operations. Shortly
after O'Clock the procession set out
from Carrickmacross First came a
large cart containing some scatfolding
poles for use as battering rams. and a
couple of ladders should scaling tactics
have to be resorted to. In the centre Of
the police was Mr.. Swan, the sub-sher-
if OF the county, and MI. Gibbings, the
landlords agent, followed by his bench
men, the two bailitfs Of the estate, Nc
Cornell and Cummings. The police
had not proceeded far when the people
began to gather, and contingents head
ed bv the bands of the various sur
rounding districts began to pour into
the little town, First came the Carrick-
macross band, which was soon joined
by bands from Drumcondra, Donagh-
moyne, Corcreagh, Inniskeen, Magh-
eraclone, Annamul.in and Ballymac-
krey. The people then proceeded to the
scene of the evictions, accompanied by
the Very Rev. Dean Birmingham, T.
P; the Rev. T. Callan, g. c.; Rev. NJ.
McKenna, C. c.; Rev. T. Murphy, F.
P; Rev. j. F. Mcguire, Adm; Rev. L..
w. Gaughran, G. c.; Rev. James Nc
Carney. G. c.; Rev. P. Macnamee, G..
c.: Rev. W. O'Doherty, G. c., and Rev.
E. Magulre, C. g. The first cabin to be
visited was that of a man named James
Finigan. The cabin is situated on the
roadside near Creevy. In the house
his wife lay sick. There was no show
of opposition offered, and the formality
of taking possession having been gone
through by the sheriff, the poor peo-
ole were readrnitted as caretakers.
The orders to s'fall inn were given, and
the forces Of the landlord and the
Crown We're once more on the march.
A considerable distance had to be tray
ersed before Cornasleede was reached.
The victim here WAS man Michael
McGeough. Finding the door closed
the bailiffs at once proceeded TO
smash it in. This they were not long in
effecting, when the tenants were forth
with evicted. The evictions were re-
sumed in Carrickmacross, Wednesday,
March Is. The houses were barricaded.
Seven families were put out, three
being readmitted as caretakers. Great
excitement prevailed. A large num-
Der of people, with bands, attended.
Several clergymen were also present.
QUEENS COUNTY.
The sub-sheriff of this county, ac-
companied by fifty Emergency men and
a large force Of police, proceeded on
March % to I4uggacurran to commence

pied in the eviction Of one tenant named
Kilbrile, whose house was barricaded
and to which an entrance was forced
through the roof. A meeting of the
tenants was subsequently, held and was
addressed by MI. William O'Brien.

when the people, hearing of the situa
ton, changed the place of meeting to

emit, "while the police we're amusing
themselves playing frog-leap in Gloon
